SEMPORNA: The Bugaya state by-election is a seven-cornered contest among Parti Warisan (Warisan), Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH), Pejuang, Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), Parti Perpaduan Rakyat Sabah (PPRS) and an Independent candidate.
The candidates are Jamil Hamzah of Warisan, Abd Aziz Mohd Ibno of UMNO (BN), Arastam Pandorog of PKR (PH), Mohd Hassan Abu Bakar (Pejuang), Nazmawati Walli (PBM), Karil Pg Kuraini (PPRS) and an Independent candidate Zulfadzli Shi Ahmad.
Returning officer Juraimin Jadil announced their names after the one-hour nomination at Dewan Masyarakat Semporna closed at 10 am.
The Bugaya seat fell vacant following the death of its Warisan incumbent Manis Muka Mohd Darah on Nov 17, 2020, but the by-election was postponed due to the proclamation of emergency to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effective Oct 6 this year, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah consented to lifting six ordinances and emergency proclamations which were declared in November and December 2020 to postpone the Batu Sapi and Gerik parliamentary by-elections and the Bugaya state by-election.
